solar sail 太陽帆〔星際航行中利用太陽能作為動力的一種設備〕。

Space inflatable structures , which has some prominent advantages in space exploration , such as small launched volume and mass , high dependability of deployment , can be used to build large space antenna , solar sail , and other large space structures 空間充氣展開結構具有重量輕、折疊體積小等顯著優點,在大型空間結構如大型空間天線、太陽帆板等領域有廣闊的應用前景。

We are investigating the possibility of a commercial venture , where a solar sail would conduct station - keeping at points in interplanetary space that are useful for monitoring in the solar system 我們研究了一種商業風險的可行性,就是太陽帆能定點保持在太陽系內的某處,這對監測太陽系很有用。

In principle , big sheets could act as solar sails that over time would reach speeds exceeding 100 kilometers a second ? far faster than chemical rockets 所以只要有足夠的時間,一整片鋁化麥拉板便可像太陽光帆一樣航行,原則上每秒可達100公里以上,遠快于使用化學燃料的火箭。

Some aspects of such a mission might actually be easier than trying to fly a solar sail in low - earth orbit , but others are harder 同試圖讓太陽帆運行在低地軌道上相比此類任務的某些方面要容易,但另外一些要困難。
